Any body guess

I have absolutely no idea!!!!
I think it has water on its surface causing the shine. It looks like teeth too but I'm not convinced!
I'm so intrigued!!!!

@jamesy: Not far off mate, the bill of a mute swan, cheers
Cheryl from Texas, United States
a duck bill is the best guess I have with the wet shine and breathing hole toward the top and the teeth on the underside???

@Cheryl: very close, a mute swan, cheers
MrsAmber from United Kingdom
It's Alien! (Or is it Sigourney Weaver without her teeth in?). Well I think its some ice melting rather than just water...Ok my guess is a Red Snapper fish. Do tell!

This is so easy, Alun. This is a close up of the long snout of the rarely seen Red snouted Duckosaurus. Only discovered in parts of Cheshire and previously thought to have been extint for millions of years, these small and timid ancestors of the prehistoric creatures from our past, are now thouight to be alive and thriving in secretly guarded locations.....
Am I close? ha ha

Well, the answer was here before me but I was convinced it was shellfish thawing and I was going to advise not to eat it beyond the sell-by date ! I shall inspect my local swans all the more closely after this. Brilliant image, btw.

@Ronnie 2¢: thanks very much, not keen on shell fish so i should be ok :))
Earnest from Oklahoma, United States
My guess is that it is the beak of a bird, perhaps a goose... but in truth it looks just like a predatory science fiction monster.

It's late, you've given the answer, but it was a very intriguing shot, indeed.

@Anthony Lambert: hehehe, very good
djedfre from schaumburg, United States
i thought it was something like that, but couldn't quite convince myself since it looks kind of metallic too! definitely does look prehistoric... great shot!

@Mirza Ahmad: very much so :)
Lesley from Lincoln, United States
ICK!! I agree with Mrs. Amber -- looks like something Sigourney Weaver would know about! Great macro, Alun!

At first I thought you had been playing in Dylan's closet and you went to wash off the leg of a BEN TEN action figure! I had to read the comments to find out.
Great up close image.
